England got off to a poor start in their second innings after Australia paceman Peter Siddle destroyed the top order. Siddle picked three quick wickets to have England end the day at 31-3 (20 overs) at stumps.

England have a 264-run lead with Joe Root (18 off 60) and Tim Bresnan (0 off 15) at the crease.

Earlier, Graeme Swann played a leading hand with bat and ball as Australia were shot out for 128 in 53.3 overs in the first innings on Day 2 of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s on Friday.

Soon after lunch Rogers was lbw in bizarre fashion. The left-hander missed a pull at a Swann full toss after the ball appeared to slip out of the bowler's hand, and was 'boxed'.

South African umpire Marais Erasmus gave Rogers out lbw for 15 on the left-hander's Middlesex home ground.

That started the slide and Australia were in deep trouble after their captain Michael Clarke was dismissed, undone by an excellent full length delivery from Stuart Broad that had him lbw as he played down the wrong line.

The last thing Australia needed now was a run-out. But that is what they got when a terrible mix-up saw non-striker Ashton Agar charge down the pitch and back again as he failed to beat Matt Prior's throw to James Anderson.
